Knowing that you have made the world a better place.

Put up a new V6 today... Only took 4 fucking sessions and a cool day to go...

[Nibile]

My friends, I would really like to tell you that today in a very short lunchbreak session, I retroflashed two of the hardest problems on my board, but that wouldn't give the exact idea. I could tell you that I crushed them, but still that would not be enough. So I tell you that I crushed those problems to atoms, and I sent them in the place in which crushed problems go, and when they got there they found out they were the most crushed ones.
The best thing is, that I still had to fight to climb them, because they still felt hard. And that's priceless.
YYFY.

Quality Nibs, well done!

Nibble you are piss-funny :D

Man, that sounds like hard work. I can normally crank out a V6 after one sex session and a cheeky wank...

[Eddies]

I enjoyed my first session on the lime last night after work (last session was early August 2012)
I went to Rubicon where I retro flashed Millers Tale and Kudos, sent the press 3rd go (this was my hardest tick at Rubicon last year). I tried a few new ones, bagged one of them 'A bigger splash Direct' and fell from the last move on Kudos traverse.
Psyched for a season of limestone now...

One of the best things that anybody has ever said on here. I will be using this at the crag for sure.

yesterday i was in the most extreme place ive ever been.in a fire and watching the flames above dancing across the roof.zilch visibility at first.got the marks on my forearms for it.very weird feeling been inside a fire,was fecking amazing to see.

[Eddies]

It was exactly the same up the Roaches today!

[slackline]

Belayed a friend up Manchester Buttress yesterday....he broke his back in a rockfall accident 9 months ago*.   


* Somewhat characteristically he said it didn't count as he had to take a couple of rests on the rope!

[mark s]

its good to go back and finish a route you had a bad experience on. get rid of the demons
i did the same on laguna sunrise after fooking my back up

[slackline]

It wasn't this route that fell down on him, the accident happened at Wild Cat (and he's lucky to be alive, even more so to not be paralysed).

I'm just dead pleased for him.

Admit, how many times have you watched the film Backdraft?

Was this training, or the real deal?

[mark s]

saw backdraft once when it first came out.it was in a shipping container with a shed load of timber at one end.they are used as vented or unvented fires can be replicated

[moose]

I once watched some fire-fighters doing BA training in a smoke house - you have my sympathy! When I go to fire scenes I now always look out for those tell-tale scuff marks in the soot where BA crews have been blindly feeling their way along walls.  Thank god for PPV! By the way, is your FRS equipped with Cobra? Looks like a funky bit of kit for avoiding smoke explosions.

[mark s]

no.we dont have cobra. ive sweated out of places i didnt know sweat came from wearing b.a. 
 having your sight taken away and in a totally unknown place is a strange feeling.its gives you a head ache as all your other senses try and make up for it.

[SA Chris]

Sounds sort of like skiing in a whiteout. I get sore eyes from squinting trying to discern the whiteness from the other whiteness, and it makes me dizzy.

I've witnessed these things crushed first hand and had to enter a new temporal realm just to bear witness to these things. Wishing you every prop of my atoms Lo.

As a barely comparable aside, I'm psyched that three weeks of fingerboarding has got me back on my 4.5mm rung again; an acid test I hope bodes well for the coming months.

[Nibile]

  cheers Tom.
P.s. 4,5 mm rung is an oxymoron.

After over 5 months of trying Enchantress every time I drive up or down the M1, I'd pretty much given up on it. After being spanked by Malham in general recently, I've been getting a little disillusioned with the siege process in general. I went back to Forest Rock after 4 consecutive days climbing with the intention of showing a friend around without climbing anything, put my shoes on anyway, and had the lowest gravity day I've ever had....

I DID AN 8A CHA'MONE!!! (admittedly with a cheating knee scum. Is this what it feels like to be Alex Barrows?)

I'm spending the next week eating cheesecake

I DID AN 8A CHA'MONE!!!

I was wondering whether I should go back this weekend or go to Dinas instead...

I think my choice has been made!
